She's either trying to kill her baby, herself, or both. Prior to her skiing down the hill she was just warned against going down, she asks God to forgive her for what she is about to do to her baby.

The doctor aborted Selena in the first movie, and Lucia Whatsername miscarried in the second one. I love the hat on that woman sitting in front of Jeff Chandler in the first photo Since Ted brought home an Italian war bride, the movie is probably set around 1946.

I wrote the only biography of Metalious, "Inside Peyton Place: the Life of Grace Metalious," and one of my discoveries was that Metalious mostly didn't write the "Return" book. After the success and scandal of "Peyton Place," she took to drinking heavily because of the stress. She couldn't finish "Return," and the publisher hired another writer to do so. Metalious herself died of cirrhosis of the liver just 8 years after "Peyton Place" came out. It was 1964, and she was 39 years old. Sandra Bullock's bought my book for a possible feature film.
